Transcribed from the Parish Registers and donated to the Dorset OPC Project by Kay Kearsey
Arranged according to the Gregorian Calendar, with the Julian year indicated to the left of the forward slash (/) in those years
when the Julian Calendar, which ran from March 25th to March 24th, was in use (i.e. prior to 1752, 1751 being the transition year).
The Parish Register is difficult to read in places, so readers are invited to use this transcript as a guide only and to consult the original at the Dorset History Centre.
